There is an amazing story worth repeating here.

HaGa’on R’ Dovid solovietchik, Rosh Yeshivas Brisk/”R’ dovid’s” was vacationing in switzerland many years ago, when he met a wealthy yid of hungarian descent. the yid was happy to meet a son of the brisker Rov, and at the end of the conversation handed the Rosh yehsiva one thousand dollars, a massive sum at the time. The Rosh Yeshiva explained that he does not wnat to accept the donation, [at the time it wasn’t so easy to transfer money from foreign countries] if Hahsem wants me to have this money he can bring it to me in eretz yisroel too. The g’vir was so impressed that he later donated the entire building for the yeshiva, and still covers singlehandedly over half the yeshiva’s budget!!!!
